Negroes Arrested at Virginia are Guarded
Duluth, June 16, – Adjutant General Rhinow left here after 11:30
o’clock this forenoon in a taxicab for an unknown destination on
Vermillion Road between Duluth and Virginia, to bring into Duluth the ten
Negroes arrested at Virginia last night in connection with assault on a white
girl here. General Rhinow is accompanied by national guardsmen in trucks, it is
reported, and will protect the Negroes. Disposition of them after they arrive
here has not been decided, it is said.
The three Negroes who were
“acquitted” by the mob last night were immediately spirited out of
the city and are being kept hidden by police authorities.
